The Job activity page of the Automation Services area presents an overview of all job activity on the server. It also includes links or shortcuts to other pages and logs that provide detailed information on job executions.

Automation Services jobs can be initiated in several different ways, either by scheduling or running a saved automation job from the library using the Spotfire Server web administration pages, by initiating a job from a local client using Automation Services Job Builder, by using the create-scheduled jobs command, using a schedule that was created in Windows Task Scheduler and then run the job using the Client Job Sender, or, it can be initiated using the web service API. The Job activity page lets you get an overview of all jobs that have been run on the server.

To reduce the number of activities currently shown in the job activity list, you can use the Filters control to apply some quick filters, or type a search expression directly.

For information about the Job Builder or Client Job Sender, see the Automation Services User Guide.

To view previous executions of a scheduled job, select the job in the Scheduled jobs page and, in the menu to the right, click View in 'Job activity'. Then, you can filter the view more by selecting Successful jobs or Failed jobs, etc. in the Filters control.

By default, job activity older than a week is deleted. If your organization runs many Automation Services jobs, you might want to reduce the default time period for deleting job history items from the database. For instructions, see Changing how often the scheduled job history is cleared. You might also want to consider other options for tracking history, such as action logging. For more information, see Action logs and system monitoring. You can also clear individual job activities by using the Delete option in the menu to the right in the job's row, or delete or disable multiple jobs from the links above the rows in the table.
